Cottage pie
Gammon
Fish and chips
Roast dinner
Hot pot
Steak & kidney pie (most pies actually)
... are just a few that readily spring to mind and that I miss greatly. Though I agree I would not want to be stuck with solely English food. Or solely the original food of any nationality, for that matter.
I've never really worried about cuisine nationality much. Or where the the recipe originated from. I've always judged a place by the quality and variety of food that is available.
Another issue is the nationalisation of cuisines. A Chinese meal in London, Paris and Beijing are totally different. Ditto an Indian meal in San Francisco, Birmingham or New Delhi.
It's not even clear which food belongs to which national cuisine.
To your original question, I guess if I had to restrict myself to one type of restaurant it would be Italian. As long as I could get the occasional kebab on the way home.
